Hello all!

I am wanting to try e-smoking and would like some advice. I am sure that you guys get posts like this all the time but I have been browsing through threads for about an hour and have only found a few helpful hints. So here goes.

I know that I want to order from puresmoker.com (whenever they get some products back in stock). Currently I smoke marlboro lights and I smoke about 10 or so a day. I need some advice on which e-cig to get. I have read the comments on the puresmoker website and each e-cig has good reviews. All of the kits are the same price (except for the PeeWee which is $2 cheaper). So should I buy based on apearance alone? If I do that it would be between the classic penstyle and the pilot. I already plan on buying the sample pack also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. If anybody has any suggestions for other sites please tell, it's just that Puresmoker.com looks and sounds legit and I have just decided on this venture of e-smoking a couple of days ago and I don't really know much about it, e-smoking that is.

Thank you

To my mind the best e-cig bar none is the Intellicig Evo, which can be sent to America. The Pilot that you mention is, I understand, similar. I would search on both of these on this forum - you'll find a lot to read! The classic penstyle is a great e-cig but I have experienced atomiser problems with it. When it works it's really very good indeed. No-one can tell you what to choose - research this forum and you'll find enough information to make an informed choice. Good luck!

Trist if you are after a close to regular e-cig that even works like one. pure smoker sells a DSE-901 mini. i think which would be close in size and would be a little bit on the heavy side. other suppliers are listed on the suppliers link above ^ i would avoid njoy and janty based on price. vaporguys or alt smoke might work for you as well. as far as a juice the johnson creek Tennesse cured might be to your taste i was a full flavor MB smokers. pen style are great dripper devices. always plain on having back up atomisers at least 2.

Superminis like the PeeWee are the least recommended and most disliked devices according to forum polls.

Puresmoker is a great company and the Pilot sounds like it might be the best new thing.

The difference between them is how long the batteries and cartridges last. Cartridges are worth 4 or 5 cigs for a pilot, versus 8 or 9 for a pen. Battery lives are a bit closer, 70-80 5-second puffs for a pilot, and 100 for a pen. So, with a pen you can get through most of your day, if not all day, on one of each, but you'd have to change each at least once a day with a Pilot.

Otoh, related to appearance is size. You should also consider whether you would feel more comfortable holding something a bit closer in size and weight to a real cigarette or not.

They're both good devices, with similar vapor levels. And you should also consider his 901 mini, which has cartridge, battery life and vapor level also in the same range as the pilot.

But, like Kate said, I would recommend against the Peewee.

I would also suggest LitecigUSA, for similar products and prices plus a 6 month warranty, but they've been out of about everything, and the site is down now for some reason anyway.

www.e-smokeytreats.com has the same models of pen and 901 as PS, but at slightly higher prices and with a 6 month warranty. And his 901 kits have an extra atomizer, and come in a really atractive midnight blue color.

www.ecigmall.com has good pens and 901s, in PS's price range, and with a warranty. Including a penstyle with a manual switch, like the Janty KISSbox.

And www.Vaporguys.com has clones of the Janty Dura and Janty KB, if you want to go a bit pricier.

Or Janty USA for the originals, if you want to go pricier still.

And LEAFORD will save you 5% with Puresmoker, 10% at e-smokeytreats or Vaporguys, and send an e-mail to ecigmall mentioning my name and he'll take 5% off your invoice. No discount at Janty, yet.

Well, I just got my e-cig in today and I am super excited! I started charging it at 11:15 and I get out of my class at 3:15 (I am in college) and the instructions said to charge for four hours the first time. So the timing works pretty well.

I am also excited because I thought that I would just get five cartridges but I got 10! 5 of regular flavored with assorted nicotine levels and 5 high nicotine levels of assorted flavors. Chocolate, coffee, vanilla, strawberry, and apple. (any advice on which one to try first? I have never e-smoked before.)

I am also excited because since I got two atomizers, everything was assembled when I got the package and I basically have 2 e-cigs. When I opened it up there were two e-cigs sitting there!

I will post again after I have tried it out and let you all know how everything goes.
